Superiority, Inferiority, and Silence

Superiority and Inferiority and Silence 

My favorite dictum, "one must know who one is and where one stands in relation to others", rings true when examined within the context of the unending, acrimonious, and insults-laden "debates" among the Vietnamese on the Net about the "roles" and "responsibilities" of the Catholics or Buddhists for the collapse of South Vietnam in the Second Indochina War.

Anybody can and is indeed "qualified" to state his views about religion and politics. All he needs to do is to run his mouth. However, his very views about religion and politics sharply show his intelligence, evolutionary development as a human, and knowledge. In general, the below can never fully understand the above. So a debate is productive only when it takes place among peers. There is no point to hold a conversation with uneducated, uninformed, fanatical, brainwashed, insulting, foul-mouthed and stubborn dumb asses who have no respect for facts, truths, and logic. Silence is a better alternative. If one must speak, one must do so with unadorned facts. 

Since most human chimps and monkeys on this planet don't really know who the fuck they are and where they stand in relation to other organisms and sentient beings, I have devised a very simple but highly efficacious test to ascertain their true nature and level of  evolutionary development. I would subject them yo the following rapid-fired questions. They must answer the questions on the top of their heads, no hemming and hawing allowed. They are, however, allowed to say as much as they want. I would only cut them off if they go off the tangent and recite the ready-made responses spoon-fed to them by their religious and political "leaders" or their own misguided, stupid, uninformed, unschooled parents:

1. Who and what are you?

2. Why are you on this planet?

3. What will happen to you after you die?

3. Who and what is God?

5. Who made/created God?

6. Now tell me frankly, do you believe in God or not? Why or Why not?

7. What do you think about religion and politics?

8. What about power? Do you like power? 

9. Which do you prefer: power or love? sex or food?

10. Finally, what do you think of the following categories:

-Onanism

-Bestiality

-Homosexuality

-Sexual perversions in general

-Murder, homicide, genocide

-Jews

-Chinese

-Russians

-Arabs

-Blacks

-Asians

-Racism

-Xenophobia

-Human race

-Anti-Semitism

-Nazism

-Hitler. Was he evil or a misunderstood genius?

 

Thank you for answering the questions. I will let you know who and what you are and where you stand in the scheme of things, if you so desire. Now I need to take a repose. See you.

P.S.

I wrote the above and got some cathartic relief. Then by chance I read a story about a legendary poker player who is universally considered one of the best, if not very best poker player on this planet, and a fearless gambler on craps and baccarat. The story had nothing to do with his gambling, but his being cool after being slapped in the face by his scrawny poker friend. Reading the story calmed me down. I felt like I just had a session with a caring friend who was also a shrink. Cool is my motto now. I am going to be cool and graceful under pressure. Hemingway wrote a lot about being graceful under pressure: being a bullfighter, boxer, frontline war reporter, or contemplating taking one's own life calmly and gracefully, like the cherry blossoms falling off the branches in one breezy, sun-drenched, Spring morning. To live is to wait for Death to come at anytime while hopefully finding out that one is loved and cared for by some steadfast lover, without nary a complaint nor sound and fury.
